Thankful Thursday - The Difference.

“The painter constructs, the photographer discloses.” Susan Sontag.

I love photography. It helps quiet my mind and I get to see things I'd never notice without my camera. Last year I spotted this guy limping, and away from the group, alone, in obvious distress. It appeared as if the others were purposely shunning him because of his impediment. I took his picture and it was only then I noticed the heart on his beak. Can you see it? It made me think of people who have been broken, rejected and shamed. People who walk around with an emotional limp, on the outside, feeling alone and unloved.

And then one touch of His gentleness changes everything. His love - makes all the difference.

Praise the Lord for His gentle touch! I have always routed for the underdog because I felt I could identify with them in some small way. Love the picture of the goose with the heart on his beak. How lovely that you have captured it! Enjoy your day, Nikki, and thank you for your wonderful post.

Lovely post, Nikki! I notice more when I am taking photos too. I notice things around me more because I am looking for something that will make a good photo, and I notice more in the photo itself once I see it on the computer. :)
